I thought Crookes looked impressive in friendlies and early games last season. Certainly had pace, not sure why fans are against him.

Ok he made some bad mistakes in games but when have Hull FC wingers not been mistake ridden lately!

Yes he has also made some errors off the field but to say we should never have signed him is a bit unfair. I think he was definitely playing through injury in parts last season.

It's a shame for crookes I reckon arundel or one of our young lads will step up, players will take this chance to impress, some ones loss is some ones gain. Nothing you can do about injuries is part of the game. It's getting tougher every year imo.

Has anyone heard any other news about bringing Tom Biggs in from Bath early, Radders was talking about the end of Feb?..........The start of Feb would be more appropriate now!

His arms are getting tired, but it's a long flight flapping your wings all that way

Caught a bit of radford's interview on blubderside last night and he said even if biggs arrived now he wouldn't be ready to play a game until mid season anyway so reckon he'll end up at donny when he gets here

...playing against Bradford this weekend (according to HDM).
